JEWELERS HEATING AND LIGHTING BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 625,242, dated May 16, 1899. Application filed July 8, 1898. Serial No. 685,410. (No model.)

T (07], whom it ntwy concern:

Be it known that I, ISIDOR BOORER, a subject of the Czar of Russia, residing at New York, in the borough of Manhattan and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful, Improvements in Jewelers Heating and Lighting Burners, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a jewelers heating and lighting burner; and the object of the same is to provide burners for furnishing both light and heat for jewelers and others.

A further object of the invention is to so mount the gas-brackets of such heat and illuminating burners on their support as that either can be moved to any desired position independently of the other; and a still fill ther object of the invention is to do away with the ordinary gas-cock by swiveling the burner in the gas-bracket and arranging thereon a button or disk, whereby the burner-tube is adapted to be rotated on its axis into open or closedposition.

The invention consists, broadly, of a suitable support connected with a gas-supply pipe and provided with a bearing-sleeve, a gasbracket provided with alined hollow journals extending in opposite directions, one of the same being journaled in the bearing-sleeve, a burner mounted on said gas-bracket, and an additional gas-bracket provided with a burner and swiveled 011 the other journal of the first gas-bracket.

The invention further consists of suitable features of construction and combinations of parts to be hereinafter described and then particularly claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a side elevation of my improved jewelers heating and lighting burner. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same, showing the heating and illuminating burners in one position in full lines and in anotherposition in dotted lines. Fig. 3 is a detail transverse vertical section, parts broken away, on the line 3 3, Fig.2; and Fig. 4 is a transverse section on line 4 at, Fig. 3.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

Referring to the drawings, A indicates a suitable pedestal, which is hollow and connected with a gas-supply pipe A. 'Rising upwardly from the upper end of the pedestal A are outwardly-curved branch pipes at, which lead to a central bearing-sleeve B. It isevident that in place of such specific construction any suitable support provided with a bearing-sleeve may be employed. A radial gas-bracket D is provided at its inner end with two alined and oppositely-projecting journals d d, of which d is j ourn aled or swiveled in said bearing-sleeve B. To connect the gas-bracket I) with the bearing-sleeve B so that it will rotate therein and yet not be accidentally removed therefrom, a suitable screw 0 is secured thereto over a washer (3'. The other journal d furnishes a bearing for a sleeve E on the inner end of a radial gasbracket E, said sleeve being secured to said journal by means of a suitable screw 6, which is applied over a washer c, this construction permitting the gas-bracket Eto be rotated or turned upon the journal d, while in like manner the gas-bracket D can be rotated, in turn, around the bearing-sleeve B. The head D, into which the gas-bracket D is screwed and from which the journals d d extend, is provided with an axial bore d extending into said journals, While from the opposite ends of said bore d openings 61 d establish a communication with the passage through the gasbracket E with the branch tubes a, as clearly shown in Fig. 3. The head D, at the midlength of the bore (1 is furthermore provided with a lateral opening 61 which communicates with the passage through the gas-bracket D.

Onto the gas-bracket D is screwed a suitable sleeve F, which furnishes a bearing for the swivel F of a Bunsen or equivalent heatfurnishing burner G, the said journal and burner being held to said sleeve so that they can rotate therein by means of a screw g, which is applied over a Washer g. The upper end of the Bunsen burner is provided with an ordinary perforated cap G and with a side air-inlet opening g while a rotary sleeve It, provided with knurled head or button h, turns upon the burner and is provided with a side opening k adapted to register with the air-inlet opening 9 so that more or less air may be admitted to the Bunsen burner to commingle with the gas which passes thereinto from the gas-bracket D. An illuminating-burner I is provided with a hollow journal I,which turns in a suitable bearing-sleeve I at the outer end of the gas-bracket E. It will be observed in this connection that instead of employing the ordinary gas-cocks which are arranged upon the gas-brackets the burners themselves are arranged to'turn or rotate on their axes, and to limit the rotation to a half-turn the bearing-sleeve F is provided with abutments f f, against which a radial stop-pin g on the burner abuts. A lateral opening 9 which passes through the journal F corresponds with a point intermediate of the abutments, so that gas can pass through the said opening from the gasbracket D, while the abutments correspond with the closed position, in which the gas is shut off. A similar arrangement is provided for the illuminatingburner.

For the purpose of turning the burners for supplying or shutting off the gas there is applied to the hollow journal F a perforated disk or button J, the outer edge of which is grasped in turning, while the illuminatingburner I is provided with asimilar button or disk J. 'lhe'gas-bracket E is shorter than D, so that theburners can be moved past each other.

It will be seen from the above detailed description that the gas-brackets can rotate or swing around coincident centers, so that they can be adjusted either in oppositely-directed position, as shown in full lines in Fig. 2, or can be swung into the position shown in dotted lines, or in anotherpositionthat is to say,the Bunsen and illuminating burners are adapted to be moved in parallel planes with respect to each other, according to the requirements. The gas always passes into the gas-bracket and is controlled directly at the burners by the partial rotation of the same. This arrangement furnishes a very durable, efficient, and handsome appearance, and by reason of its simple construction, because the gas-cocks are dispensed with, it can be readily taken apart and repaired or any part can bereplaced when worn out.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. The combination, with a suitable support, means for conducting gas thereto, and a bearing-sleeve on said support communicating with the interior thereof, of a radial gas-bracket having a journal arranged to turn in said bearing-sleeve and communicating with the interior of the support through suitable passages, and an additional gas-bracket swiveledon the first gas-bracket, substantially as set forth. 1

2. The combination, with a suitable support, means for supplying ga's thereto, and a bearing-sleeve connected with said support, of a gas-bracket provided at one end with oppositely-projecting and alined hollow journals communicating with each other and with the interior of the gas-bracket, one of said journals being arranged to turn in said bearing-sleeve and having communication with the interior of the support, a Bunsen burner mounted on the gas-bracket, and an additional gas-bracket provided with an illuminating-gas burner and arranged to turn on the other journal, and communicating therer with, substantially as set forth.

'3. In a gas-burner, the combination with the gas-bracket provided with a bearing, of a burner having a swivel provided with a lateral passage communicating with the burner, said swiveled burner being arranged to turn axially in said bearing and said lateral passage being adapted to register with the passage through the gas-bracket, and a button or disk arranged on the burner for imparting a partial rotation thereto, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
